How classical is the quantum universe?
We discuss two topics that are usually considered to be exclusively ”quantum”: the Schrödinger equation, and the uncertainty principle. We show (or rather recall) that the Schrödinger equation can be derived from Hamilton’s equations using the metaplectic representation. We also show that the uncertainty principle, stated in the form of the Robertson-Schrödinger-Heisenberg inequalities can be f...
متن کاملFormation of the universe: From classical to quantum cosmology
We give a brief overview of the role of quantum theory in cosmology, reviewing the standard model of classical cosmology, inflation and quantum cosmology.
متن کاملQuantum-to-classical Transition for Fluctuations in the Early Universe
According to the inflationary scenario for the very early Universe, all inhomogeneities in the Universe are of genuine quantum origin. On the other hand, looking at these inhomogeneities and measuring them, clearly no specific quantum mechanical properties are observed. We show how the transition from their inherent quantum gravitational nature to classical behaviour comes about – a transition ...
متن کاملHow autism became autism
This article argues that the meaning of the word 'autism' experienced a radical shift in the early 1960s in Britain which was contemporaneous with a growth in epidemiological and statistical studies in child psychiatry. The first part of the article explores how 'autism' was used as a category to describe hallucinations and unconscious fantasy life in infants through the work of significant chi...
متن کاملHow Media Became New
On August 19, 1839, the Palace of the Institute in Paris was completely full with curious Parisians who came to hear the formal description of the new reproduction process invented by Louis Daguerre. Daguerre, already well-known for his Diorama, called the new process daguerreotype. 1 According to a contemporary, "a few days later, opticians' shops were crowded with amateurs panting for daguerr...
